  • optimization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The problem is, while the concept seems fine, as a student project, every corner you could cut has been cut... there's no polish or optimization, ground-breaking bugs... and of course, because the students got their grades and moved on, these problems will never be fixed.”
